July 31, 2018

Munich-based fashion company HALLHUBER has successfully integrated its accounting, controlling, human resources and logistic operations into the parent company, GERRY WEBER International AG. This move marks the completion of the HALLHUBER integration with the aim of leveraging positive synergies with the GERRY WEBER Group.

Richard Lohner, CFO of HALLHUBER, was responsible for the relocation of the commercial operations to Halle/Westphalia and designed the synergy processes. At the end of July 2018, he will leave the Munich-based company at his own request and by amicable agreement with the GERRY WEBER Group for a new professional challenge. Richard Lohner has served as CFO of HALLHUBER since 2010.

“In his capacity as Chief Financial Officer, Richard Lohner made a vital contribution to the successful development of HALLHUBER. We thank him very much for this achievement. We regret his departure and wish him all the best for the future,” said Ralf Weber, CEO of GERRY WEBER International AG.

“Integrating the commercial operations into the GERRY WEBER Group had been part of the strategic plan from the very beginning in order to best leverage the synergies between the two companies. Now that the integration has been successfully completed, I will take on new responsibilities. I am convinced that the GERRY WEBER Group and HALLHUBER are on the right track and wish them all the best,” Richard Lohner said to underline his decision.

Responsibility for all commercial operations lies with Jörg Stüber, Chief Financial Officer of GERRY WEBER International AG. Johannes Ehling, Chief Sales Officer and Chief Digital Officer of GERRY WEBER International AG, has overall responsibility for the HALLHUBER SBU (Strategic Business Unit).

Retail expert Rouven Angermann, who joined the HALLHUBER management in July 2017, continues to run the business in Munich. Apart from his role as Managing Director, he is responsible for Sales of the HALLHUBER SBU in his capacity as Executive Vice President of the GERRY WEBER Group.

Susanne Hallhuber, Creative Director of HALLHUBER, is responsible for the product. She and her team of 30 or so people create up to 26 collections per year for the fashion-conscious woman, giving the brand a modern image reflecting the international zeitgeist. Building on an independent collection statement and great stylistic expertise, HALLHUBER positions itself in the upper range of the mid-price segment and is evolving into a vertically integrated premium brand.
